During the operation of wind turbine 10, wind is from the impact rotor blade 16 of direction 20(Referring to Fig. 2), cause rotor leaf Piece 16 rotates around rotation axis.When rotor blade 16 is rotated and subjected to centrifugal force, rotor blade 16 be also subjected to various power and Bending moment.Therefore, rotor blade 16 can from centre or non-deflected posi-tion deflect to a deflection or loading position Put, thus reduce the tower clearance between blade 16 and pylon 12.In order to monitor the position of blade 16 and reduce tower strike Possibility, predetermined tower clearance threshold value 22 can be set up(Fig. 2 and Fig. 4).So, if one or more in blade 16 are inclined Turn to exceed the tower clearance threshold value 22, corrective action can be taken(Such as pitch of regulation blade 16 or change cabin 14 Inclination angle)To increase pylon 12 and blade(Can be multiple)Interval between 16.As used in this specification, term " tower clearance threshold value " generally corresponds to the minimum range apart with pylon 12, operation of the rotor blade 16 in wind turbine 10 Period is maintained at the threshold value, so as to reduce the possibility of tower strike.So, it should be understood that tower clearance threshold value 22 can Change with because of different between wind turbine and wind turbine, this depends on length, the rotor leaf of such as rotor blade The flexibility/stiffness of piece, and/or the expected service condition of wind turbine.Further, it should be understood that wind-force can be based on Each certification rule of turbine 10 changes tower clearance threshold value 22.For example, certification rule can require tower clearance threshold value 22 is about 1/3rd of the quiet clearance distance of rotor blade 16.As used in this specification, term " quiet clearance gap From " be commonly referred to as on pylon 12 and rotor blade during deflecting near the non-deflection distance between the point of pylon 12.
Referring now to Fig. 2, the side view of one embodiment of rotor blade 16 for wind turbine 10 is shown.Such as Shown in figure, rotor blade 16 includes being used for blade 16 is arranged on into hub 18(Fig. 1)On root 32.Rotor blade 16 also includes setting Put at the tip 34 of the end relative with root 32 of blade 16.The main body 40 of rotor blade 16 is substantially in root 32 and point End 34 between extend, and with define on the pressure side 42 and suction side 44 surface, on the pressure side 42 and suction side 44 in leading edge 46 With trailing edge 48(Referring to Fig. 5 to Fig. 8)Between extend.
Fig. 2 also illustrates the span 50 of rotor blade 16.Be as known in the art, span 50 be typically rotor blade 16 from The length at root 32 to tip 34.After this manner, root 32 can limit 0% span, and tip 34 can limit 100% span. It should be understood that rotor blade 16 can generally have any suitable span 50.For example, in one embodiment, rotor leaf Piece 40 can have the span of scope from about 15 meters to about 91 meters, for example, from about 20 meters to about 85 meters, or from about 40 meters to About 55 meters, and all other subranges between 15 meters to 91 meters.However, other non-limiting examples can include being less than 15 meters or the span more than 91 meters.
As disclosed above, rotor blade of the invention 16 is preferably included in be allowed to be tieed up while improving performance Hold the improved feature of tower clearance threshold value 22.So, rotor blade of the invention 16 can define inboard portion 62, outer Side part 64 and the bending section between inboard portion 62 and Outboard Sections 64 66.Generally, bending section 66 can be defined And separate inboard portion 62 and Outboard Sections 64.Therefore, inboard portion 62 can be main body 40 in root 32 and bending section The part extended between 66, Outboard Sections 64 can be the part extended between bending section 66 and tip 34 of main body 40. To state as follows, bending section 66 can be such that tip 34 is moved away from pylon 12.Further, it is as described below, bending can be strengthened Part 66 with reduce or eliminate bending section during the deflection of rotor blade 16/process opens.So, bending section 66 can Advantageously to represent the point closest to pylon 12.This is advantageouslyed allow for for example will on the pressure side or suction side winglet increases to rotor On blade 16, or rotor blade 16 can be allowed to be designed to become smaller and more while tower clearance threshold value needed for maintaining Gently.
Inboard portion 62 and Outboard Sections 64 may each be substantial linear, or generally curved in the exemplary embodiment Bent.The bending of rotor blade 16(Such as bending of inboard portion 62 and Outboard Sections 64)Need along generally chord-wise direction and/ Or along substantially aerofoil direction bending rotor blade 16.Chordwise(flapwise direction)Generally it is construed to airlift Act on the direction on rotor blade 16(Or opposite direction).In other words, inboard portion 62 or the edge of Outboard Sections 64 The bending of chordwise generally is construed to be bent outwardly away from pylon 12 or curved inwardly towards pylon 12.If wind turbine Machine 10 is upwind turbine, is bent outwardly and refers to along on the pressure side 42 direction bending, and curves inwardly and refer to along suction The direction bending of side 44.If wind turbine 10 is lower wind direction turbine, the direction referred to along suction side 44 is bent outwardly Bending, and curve inwardly and refer to along on the pressure side 42 direction bending.Aerofoil direction(edgewise direction)Generally hang down Directly in chordwise.In other words, inboard portion 62 or Outboard Sections 64 are generally construed to along preceding along the bending in aerofoil direction The direction of edge 46 or the direction bending along trailing edge 48.The wing chord of rotor blade 16 is also called prebuckling to bending, and aerofoil It is also called to bending and is scanned(sweep).So, the rotor blade 16 of bending can be prebuckling and/or scan.Bending makes to turn Blades 16 can preferably be born during the operation of wind turbine 10 wing chord to aerofoil to load, and in some realities Apply in example, can be provided and the certain interval and pylon apart of pylon 12 for rotor blade 16 during wind turbine 10 runs Gap threshold 22.
Further, the bending section 66 defined between inboard portion 62 and Outboard Sections 64 can be defined as, outside Part 64 stretches out relative to inboard portion 62.If for example, wind turbine 10 is upwind turbine, then bending section Points 66 can be defined as, Outboard Sections 64 relative to inboard portion 62 along blade 16 on the pressure side 42 direction stretch out.Such as Fruit wind turbine 10 is lower wind direction turbine, then bending section 66 can be defined as, and Outboard Sections 64 are relative to inside portion 62 are divided to stretch out along the direction of the suction side 44 of blade 16.So, as shown in Fig. 2 it shows a upwind turbine, outward Side part 64 can extend from bending section 66 relative to inboard portion 62 away from the ground of pylon 12.It should be understood that such as in this theory The term " bending " used in bright book and " curved " can include curved as depicted(For example, with smooth edge as special The bending that the bending or offer levied smoothly transit a little), and angle bending(For example, be characterized with the edge crossed in certain point Bending or the bending of offer racing transition point).
Referring now to Fig. 3, the partial enlarged drawing of the rotor blade 40 shown in Fig. 2 is shown.As illustrated, bending section 66 An angle of bend 68 can be defined.Angle of bend 68 can be inboard portion 62 and the adjacent bends point 66 of adjacent bends point 66 Outboard Sections 64 between angle.Generally, angle of bend 68 can be chosen to, and Outboard Sections 64 is sufficiently apart from the ground of pylon 12 and prolong Stretch.For example, in one embodiment, angle of bend 68 can be less than or equal to about 20 degree, or between about 0 degree and about 20 degree In the range of.Or, angle of bend 68 can be less than or equal to about 15 degree, or between about 0 and about 15 degree.Or Person, angle of bend 68 can be less than or equal to about 10 degree, or between about 0 and about 10 degree.It should be understood, however, that It is that bending section 66 is not limited by angle of bend disclosed above 68, but any suitable angle of bend 68 is of the invention In scope and spirit.Further, it should be understood that for each rotor blade configuration, angle of bend 68 would generally basis Several factors and change, these factors include but is not limited to span direction position 70 of the bending section 66 along span 50, Bending section 66 is defined in rotor blade 16 at the position.For example, it is as described below, with the span direction of bending section 66 Further moved to tip 34 position 70, it may be necessary to increase angle of bend 68, vice versa.
As described above, bending section 66 can have span direction position 70 relative to the span 50 of rotor blade 16. In some embodiments, bending section 66 can have the span between about the 50% and about 100% of the span 50 of rotor blade 16 Direction position 70.Or, bending section 66 can have between about the 60% and about 100% of the span 50 of rotor blade 16 or Span direction position 70 of the person between 60% and about 95%.Or, bending section 66 can have the span in rotor blade 16 Span direction position 70 between about the 66% of 50 and about 100% or between 66% and about 95%.However, it should be understood that curved Bent portions 66 are not limited to span direction position 70 disclosed above, but any suitable span direction position 70 at this In the scope and spirit of invention.Further, it should be understood that for each rotor blade configuration, angle of bend 68 is usual Can be changed according to several factors, these factors include but is not limited to angle of bend 68.For example, it is as described below, with angle of bend 68 increase, and the span direction position 70 of bending section 66 may need further to be moved to tip 34, and vice versa.
Referring now to Fig. 4, such as the rotor blade 16 for defining bending section 66 described in this specification is shown Individual embodiment is in non-deflection/unloading position 80 and deflection/loading position 82.In order to be compared, further it is shown that it is conventional without The rotor blade 84 for having bending section 66 is in non-deflection/unloading position 86 and deflection/loading position 88.As illustrated, inclined Between the refunding, the point closest to tower clearance threshold value 22 of the convention rotor blade of such as rotor blade 84 in inflection point 88 It is probably the tip of that rotor blade.Advantageously, rotor blade of the invention 16 can migrate rotor comprising bending section 66 Point of the blade 16 closest to tower clearance threshold value 22.Therefore, during deflecting, the rotor blade 16 in inflection point 82 most connects The point of nearly tower clearance threshold value 22 can be bending section 66.
As illustrated, rotor blade 16 can define distance between two tips 90.Distance between two tips 90 can be by the point of rotor blade 16 End 34 and inboard portion 62 are defined.For example, distance between two tips 90 in non-deflected posi-tion 80 or in inflection point 82 can be with Be tip 34 with extend to tip in the no bending section 66 of rotor blade 16 and inboard portion 62 in the case of it is sophisticated The distance between position.In other words, distance between two tips 90 can be in non-deflected posi-tion 80 or in inflection point 82 Tip 34, and the convention rotor blade 84 in non-deflected posi-tion 86 or in inflection point 84 for comparing tip between Distance.Distance between two tips 90 can represent the desired additional distance at a tip 34 and the interval of tower clearance threshold value 22.
As described above, the angle of bend 68 of bending section 66 and span direction position 70 can change, and one can be entered Walk interrelated and be relatively and change basicly.In certain embodiments, angle of bend 68 and span direction position 70, and/or other each factors can be configured to produce specific distance between two tips 90.For example, angle of bend 68 and span direction position Putting 70 can be adjusted to produce a specific distance between two tips 90.Distance between two tips 90 can be for example about 5 meters with about 1 meter it Between or about 5 meters with about 1.5 meters between.Or, distance between two tips 90 can be about 3 meters with about 1 meter or Between about 3 meters with about 1.5 meters.Or, distance between two tips 90 can be between about 2.5 meters and about 1 meter or Between about 2.5 meters and about 1.5 meters.Scope disclosed above on distance between two tips 90 can be applied in non-deflection position Put 80 or inflection point 82.However, it should be understood that the invention is not limited in distance between two tips disclosed above 90, but Any suitable distance between two tips 90 are within the scope and spirit of.
